These days, papers come with an advertisement video

As someone who used to be in the academia, I think is isn't bad in itself, I just worry that by comparison it raises the burden of effort that one has to make in order to get their work noticed.
Compared to the effort required to play in that field at all, making a video is almost negligible.
If it's an obligation, it's admin. Scientists hate admin.
This has been common for CG papers for two decades. Image generation is CG.
